"Above all else, children need to know and feel they are loved, wanted, and appreciated. They need to be assured of that often. Obviously, this is a role parents should fill, and most often the mother can do it best." ~Ezra Taft Benson

~Growing like a weed~

Scott Kayden Wayne Hadley is 11 days old and has already gained 15 oz. and has grown a half an inch!! I can't believe it!! And this whole time I was worried he wasn't getting enough food from me... HA!! He proved me wrong... Those late late night feedings are paying off.. LOL!!

He has learned what throwing a fit will do for him. ;) He just showed grandma Lou how he could throw them lastnight. It scared her so bad she picked him up so he would breathe. He is already spoiled ROTTEN!!

Here are some new pics of him... :) He had such a rough day... HEHEHE!! ;)

Any suggestions??

I just realized in my last post that I didn't THANK my domesticated brother in law Jeremy for baking my delicious CARROT CAKE... MY FAVORITE!! mmmm mmmm good... I also didn't THANK my creative and artsy sister in law Staci Lou for decorating it!! A HUGE THANK YOU for making my birthday a great one...!!

Now for all you mothers out there that have breastfed... I HURT!! I don't know if Kayden isn't eating enough now and I am producing more milk or what is going on... I know the hot shower kinda works but is there anything else?? I have only pumped once and got a whole whopping OUNCE!! Did that yesterday and they still seemed to ache... Any and all suggestions will be accepted. :)

~WELCOME~

I want to congratulate my best friend Jennifer in Idaho on having her baby boy last night. Michael Richard Belem was born at 9:46 PM and weighed in at a healthy 8lbs 12oz and 20" long!!

It is the funniest thing b/c Jen was due before me by 1 week and 6 days. As Kirk and I were pulling into the emergency room I was on the phone with her rubbing it in her face that I was having Kayden before she was having Michael. LOL...

I am so happy that everything went well for her and I can't wait to meet my new little nephew and for Kayden to meet his little cousin... :) Im so proud of you Jen!! I love and miss you and can't wait to see you and Michael over Labor Day weekend.

I couldn't have asked for a better baby...

I have heard all of these horror stories on how breast feeding is so hard and how it takes time..... Well, I must have one smart baby b/c only 2 hours after having him... He definetly knew what to do and has been doing great ever since. There is definetly not a shortage of milk supply. LOL

I wanted to update everyone and let you know that WE are doing great and we are adjusting very well to the new one and he is adjusting well to us. I can't get over how perfect he is and how easy going he is. I'm sure that may change but I keep praying it won't!!

Here are some pics from yesterday and today!! Hope you enjoy...

Finally.... Our beautiful creation has arrived!!

Ok so we were on our way camping when we stopped @ Blue Mountain Food for some last minute things and I went to crawl up into the truck and WHAMMO!!! Stefanie's water broke!! I calmly walked back to the camper where Kirk was putting all the grocerys away and said... "babe my water just broke." Kirk gave me the deer in headlights look and said "lets go to the hospital" I calmly said "no we need to go home and get stuff..." So we went home and I took a shower and we got everything together within 15 min my contractions were 3 min apart... Things were progressing quickly!! So to make a huge long story short... Kayden made his grand entrance @ 3:12 AM August 2, 2008!! 8 hours of HARD LABOR... NON STOP, NO BREAKS in between contractions... Did I mention NO PAIN MEDICATION?? Yeah... But it was all worth it!!

We got home today @ 10:20 AM... I can't believe it... What an amazing thing!! BTW... IM EXAUSTED!! Love everyone and a HUGE thanks to my labor coach MRS. STACI LOU HOGGARD!! I think I would have died without her... And to my man and new proud papa Kirk... I love you babe and we created the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on!!
